I realise this a thread resurrection, but it would be good to know how
@Panter got on with their diet.
I have tried really hard to be vegan form the 1st Jan 2016, mainly for health reasons. Not missed milk or eggs at all. the only problem is avoiding them as they are in a lot of things that you would not expect. (e.g. flavored crisps contain dairy).
I feel a lot better with more energy. My dry skin condition (which I have had for several years) cleared up within a week.
Quinoa, chia seeds, oat/soy/rice/almond milks, non dairy cheese and egg replacers are generally really good. Tesco have a good 'free from' range now, especially on the non dairy cheese and yoghurts.
I now pretty much have chis seeds and ground flaxseed with my overnight oats every morning. they are wonderful for the digestive system.
